More than 200 Chinese and foreign journalists packed the conference hall that would be used as a press conference.

Directly in front of the hall was a row of tables with three microphones.

On the blue background wall in the back, the press conference of the Fermat conjecture is written in Chinese and English.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Geng Huan and a simultaneous interpreter were the first to enter the press conference venue.

Geng Huan sat down on the right side of the rostrum, and the simultaneous interpreter sat down on the left side of the rostrum.

Geng Huan looked at the full number of Chinese and foreign reporters at the scene, smiled and said: "Hello everyone, welcome to today's Fermat Conjecture press conference, I am Geng Huan from the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will preside over this press conference today." Regarding Mr. Pang Xuelin, the certifier of Fermat's conjecture, I think everyone has heard a lot of rumors in the past few days, such as Mr. Pang is just a rural primary school teacher, who has just turned 20 years old, graduated from high school, etc., what I want to tell you is that these ...... It's all true! ”

When the voice fell, the reporters who could understand Chinese at the scene were the first to be in an uproar.

Immediately afterwards, when the simultaneous interpreter repeated Geng Huan's words in English, the entire press conference hall instantly fell into a commotion.

Everyone was stunned and talking.

"This ...... How is this possible? ”

"I thought those rumors were a joke, but it turned out that the rumors were true!"

"Incredible, this is incredible, how can a twenty-year-old high school graduate prove such a difficult problem?!"

"Are mathematicians all over the world dead? Fermat's conjecture was proved by a man who graduated from high school? ”

……

Twenty years old, rural primary school teacher, graduated from high school......

Taken together, these elements are compared with the Fermat conjecture that has plagued mankind for more than 300 years, one is as light as an ant and the other is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Now Geng Huan told them that there was really an ant that lifted Mount Tai up.

This strong impact makes everyone feel as if they are in a dream.

Geng Huan ignored the reaction of the reporters and continued: "Next, we have the provener of Fermat's conjecture, Mr. Pang Xuelin, to come to the stage!" ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the entrance to the rostrum of the press conference hall.

At the entrance, Pang Xuelin was still wearing the tweed suit given to him by Wang Chongqing, smiling, and calmly walked into the press conference.

Click......

At the press conference, flashing lights rang out like lit firecrackers.

Everyone turned their cameras on the young man who entered the press conference hall.

Pang Xuelin did not feel cramped at all, calmly sat down in the center of the rostrum, and then said: "Hello everyone, I am Pang Xuelin, from Lingziding Village, Dayu Township, Anhe County, G Province, I am a primary school teacher in Lingziding Village, and I am also a part-time researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University. Below, you can ask any questions you have about me and Fermat's conjecture. ”

After the simultaneous interpreter repeated Pang Xuelin's words, the press conference hall finally fell silent.

In the next second, all the reporters raised their hands high and stared at Pang Xuelin with their eyes.

Everyone understands that the news value of this teacher Pang is even higher than the Fermat conjecture he proved.

At this time, Geng Huan said loudly: "The second reporter in the third row!" ”

Soon, a female reporter wearing a press card and looking to be in her early thirties stood up, took the microphone from the staff of the press conference and said: "Teacher Pang, hello, I am Qiu Heyi, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, I believe everyone is very curious, how did you, as an ordinary rural primary school teacher, overcome such a world-class problem?" You didn't go to college, where did you get your math knowledge? In addition, you just said that you are also a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University, I would like to know how you got into the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University with your high school education? Thank you! ”

Pang Xuelin smiled, this reporter should have been arranged in advance in China, this question is equivalent to letting Pang Xuelin narrate his experience to everyone present from beginning to end.

Pang Xuelin said: "Hello reporter Qiu, I think everyone is more curious about my personal resume, so I will introduce my personal experience to you." I am from Lingziding Village, Dayu Township, Anhe County, G Province, and I was adopted by Hu Wenbin, a primary school teacher in Lingziding Village, who is also my adoptive father. Perhaps thanks to my adoptive father, who was a math teacher, I grew up doing very well in math. When I was in high school, I was admitted to one of the best middle schools in the county......"

"In high school, I had already completed self-study of most math subjects at the university level, and even started independent research. In March 1992, when I was in my third year of high school, my adoptive father became ill and died of illness, and there was only one teacher in the Lingziding Village Primary School where he was located, and I knew that he couldn't let go of the children there, so after his death, I had to choose to give up the college entrance examination and take over this rural primary school......"

"I have been teaching in school for half a year, and my salary before 80 yuan per month is because the school still has to take care of the students' meals, and my monthly salary is a little beyond my means, so during the winter vacation, I decided to publish my research papers in the past few years to earn some manuscript fees, and by the way, I also went to the outside world to see if I could take advantage of the opportunity of the New Year to earn some money......

The voices in the press conference hall gradually became quieter, and everyone was attracted by Pang Xuelin's life experience.

"Fortunately, after arriving in Lincheng, because I didn't know the addresses of major domestic journals, I wanted to go to Lincheng University to find someone to ask, but I accidentally entered Professor Wang Chongqing's class, and then because I was too tired, I fell asleep in class, and was named by Professor Wang Chongqing to solve the problem......

There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the audience, and many reporters imagined the scene of the day, and for a while, their good impression of the young man on the stage who was talking eloquently soared.

"At the end of this class, Professor Wang Chongqing realized that I was not a student at Lincheng University. After reading my dissertation, Professor Wang Chongqing strongly recommended me to join the Institute of Mathematics of Lincheng University, and later I gave an academic report at Lincheng University, which was recognized by the dean of the Department of Mathematics and professors of Lincheng University, so I successfully obtained the letter of appointment from Lincheng University. Of course, during this period, I also sent my research results in the past few years to major journals at home and abroad. If you don't believe me, you can call Acta Mathematica Sinica, Computational Mathematics, Engineering Mathematics, etc., I believe that these journals have my papers. As for the paper related to Fermat's conjecture, I sent it to the Annals of Mathematics, which is sponsored by Princeton University. I am very happy that my paper has been recognized by the international mathematical community......"

"Actually, until now, I have a feeling of being in a dream, and it has been nearly a month and a half since the paper was sent to today. At the beginning of the new semester, I almost forgot about my thesis. It wasn't until two days ago that Academician Li Zhiguo, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Academician Xie Yongxin, President of the Chinese Mathematical Society, went to Lingziding Village to find me, and I knew that my paper had caused such a big response in the outside world......

"Okay, that's all for my personal questions, do you have any questions?"

This time, the doubts in the audience were much smaller, but many people showed a lot of interest in Pang Xuelin.

Geng Huan also looked at Pang Xuelin with some surprise, he was originally a little worried, Pang Xuelin was from a small mountain village and had never seen much of the world, so he would be too nervous when he encountered this kind of scene.

Unexpectedly, in front of the camera, Pang Xuelin performed extremely well, and did not shrink back at all, but had a feeling of lifting weights lightly and easily.

Geng Huan said: "Next question, the man with glasses in the sixth row!" ”

This time, it was a blonde reporter who was pointed.

The other party said in English: "Mr. Pang, I am Jody Hill, a Reuters reporter, and I would like to ask you, as a person with no professional academic training, how did you prove Fermat's conjecture, and do you think your academic level surpasses that of most mathematicians in the world?" ”

The conference room fell silent again.

Jody Hill's question was very sharp, and everyone looked at Pang Xuelin to see how he would answer.

The smile on Pang Xuelin's face faded a little, and he said, "The reason is very simple, because I am a genius!" I was able to self-study math at the secondary school level in elementary school and at the university and graduate level math at the university and graduate level in secondary school. As for my academic level, I don't think you are qualified to evaluate, but what is really qualified to evaluate is the international mathematical community, Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, since my thesis has been recognized by them, it means that they have recognized my academic level! The academic level of mathematical research never depends on age, there are too many young genius mathematicians in history, Abel, Gauss, Galois and others, all of whom have made outstanding contributions to the development of mathematics, and I am doing this at this age, is it strange? ”

The voice fell, and the entire conference room hall was quietly audible.

Everyone looked at Pang Xuelin in amazement.

What's the situation?

Haven't the Chinese always prided themselves on being modest and prudent?

What's going on with this young man?

God, am I a genius?

Well, you genius, you have a point!

Some Chinese reporters, while looking at Pang Xuelin with shocked eyes, couldn't help but applaud Pang Xuelin's answer in their hearts.

Geng Huan looked at Pang Xuelin with tears and laughter, just now he was still worried about how Pang Xuelin would answer.

Jody Hill's problem is clearly digging a hole for Pang Xuelin, a man who has no professional academic training, but who surpasses all mathematicians in the world, and anyone who feels that there is a problem in the middle.

Who wants Pang Xuelin to say that I am a genius, and he was stunned to smash all the doubts.

Jody Hill opened her mouth, unable to say a word, and sat down in chagrin.

As for the foreign correspondents, they all looked strange.

This young man is kind of interesting!
